I interrogated my AI to prove it forgot.

Short summary

Built Lethe to verify AI deletion compliance (GDPR, India DPDP Act 2023). Uses a red-team Auditor agent firing 15 extraction probes across four attack vectors before/after deletion. Discovered that dataset deletion alone leaves cognified graph references intact—proper erasure requires cascade deletion. Generates tamper-proof signed certificates for regulators.

• •Developed Lethe, a hackathon project to verify AI systems have truly deleted user data, not just records
• •Red-team methodology tests deletion via four attack vectors: direct extraction, inference, reconstruction, and relational leaks
• •Found real bug in Cognee Cloud: standard deletion leaves graph traces; cascade deletion needed for verified erasure

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
